Interesting stats regarding disposals

[Impatient Sainter]

Saints had the 4th most posessions and ended up 3rd in disposal efficiency in the league for the home/away season.

Think this shows:
* we DO get enough of the football
* maybe our disposal efficiency is ok despite what we think
* the bad goal kicking (2nd last in comp) really let these stats down and cost us finals (possibly 3-5 games)

We need to get a goal kicking coach. Pay him 500k a year.

Kidding yourself.
It shows we play a ring a ring rosie game style where we over possess backwards and sideways and in circles in the back half before kicking wide.
The opposition usually own the corridor and the centre of the game.

We were 11th for inside 50s.

This means for all our disposals we werent getting it inside 50. We were 13th at clearances.

So we couldnt win the ball in tight and then wed play soft circle work in our backline.

Guys like Montagna and Newnes rack up the disposals but many of them are useless.

So we fell apart in the middle of the ground or we went wide and had a clearance on the wing.

Who finished above us in disposals?

Collingwood, Essendon and Melbourne. All s*** sides. Disposals means nothing.

Check mate Con exactly right. We should change our brand to the 'crabs' because thats how we move the ball.
